Tier One Comics: First UH Graphic Novel Anthology Release Tonight!

Every other spring, graphic novelist Mat Johnson teaches a graphic novel workshop at the University of Houston, a collaborative offering of UH’s esteemed Creative Writing Program and almost as esteemed Mitchell Center. Since everyone dreams of fame as a graphic novelist, if they haven’t achieved it already, the course is attractive.

This evening, they’re celebrating the release of the first printed anthology of students’ class projects- Tier One, from “Cougar Comics,” which will be available 6 – 8 p.m., May 6 at Alabama Song (2521 Oakdale St.). The first 100 attendees will receive a free copy of the book. Authors and artists will be on hand to sign copies.
